These pernicious pests spread in every direction from the trees 

 of the careless and the indolent to those of their more careful and 

 industrious neighbors, whose labors are thereby greatly increased, 

 and have to be followed up year after year without any prospect 

 of permanent relief . — T. W. Harris, 1841. 



A Wild Cherry Tree in "The Leafy Month of June" 



There is certainly no justice or reason for permitting a few or 

 many men in a community to shield and shelter insects that will 

 soon swarm over the grounds of neighbors, but as nothing less than 

 the severe lash of the law will reach the stolidly indifferent in such 

 matters, we are forced to submit and fight these enemies as they 

 invade our gardens and orchards. — Andrew S. Fuller, 1893.
